No offence taken :-) However, I'd advise against importing gawk into -stable as it doesn't work properly (the cnews expiry scripts break it, for example) and the GNU maintainer hasn't replied to my bug report of 3 months ago. Generally - well, I suppose the main "selling points" for putting code under src/contrib were to help importing new versions and feeding diffs back to the authors. Have these happened and are they something we're likely to want to do in -stable? Unless the answer to both those questions is a clear yes, I'd vote against it.
